A key holder for my new home

As well as finding a retail shop I have had to find somewhere new to live, the house I'm in at the moment has 9 rooms and I rattle about a bit. But lucky me the shop I have got has a flat above it, 2 birds with one stone as they say. So I have created this key hook. I bought the frame because it reminded me of a beach hut. So I painted it added the lines, stamped some Molly Bloom and stuck a photo of me aged 5 on a donkey. I think it works quite well.

About Me

My name is Barry and I have been crafting for over 50 years. Recently widowed I spend most of my time rubber stamping. I also make the card samples for Robert Addams tv shows.
When Janet and I married 25 years ago our dearest wish was to open a craft shop, but due to ill health and caring for Janet's Mum our dream was put on hold. Now I am on my own I wondered what do I do next, no-one will employ me at 60. So the decision was made and I am now "Living the Dream" I opened BarjanB Crafts in December 2011 in the village of Newbold Verdon in Leicestershire.
The shop is well stocked covering all aspects of papercrafts and we run regular workshops.
